“The Stranger” provides a nice venture into the sleuthing world at this historic summer theater.

How many times as a child were you warned about strangers? The opening night of 'Love from a Stranger' at Howick Little Theatre reminds us that we need to be very mindful about what we wish for, and to be very careful of a tall, brooding, handsome stranger who brings a romantic passionate whirlwind.

Director Lucy Bailey has solid form with adaptations of Agatha Christie stories; her Olivier-award nominated version of Witness For The Prosecution is currently a hit at County Hall. She has also directed Dial M For Murder and Gaslight, so it is not entirely surprising that this touring version of Love From a Stranger is a taut and compelling thriller.

Love From A Stranger, by Agatha Christie, tells of Cecily Harrington's whirlwind romance with a handsome and charming stranger. Sweeping her off her feet, she recklessly abandons her old life to settle in the remote and blissful surroundings of a country cottage. However, Nigel Lawrence, her newfound love, is not all that he seems.

Agatha Christie and Frank Vosper's Love from a Stranger returns to the stage in this collaboration between Royal and Derngate and Firey Angel. And it's a disconcerting experience, as what starts off seeming like a conventional enough story turns into something altogether creepier.

The suspenseful mystery genre of theatre is one that should always be approached with caution; the mixture of sprinkling around clues without giving up the ending to the audience is one that can be difficult to get just right. However, at Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg, their production of LOVE FROM A STRANGER has managed to grip the attention of the audience, and the reviewer in particular, in ways they may not have imagined.
